Training biceps with free weights (dumbbells & barbells) is one of the most effective ways to build size, strength and functionality

Why free weights work best for biceps?

-Natural movement path → better joint comfort than fixed machines

-Higher muscle activation → stabilisers (forearms, shoulders) are engaged

-Balanced development → dumbbells help fix left–right strength imbalances

-Better functional carryover → free weights teach real-world arm control

Some of the best free exercises:

1. DB Curl with Supination → Engages the entire biceps muscles group and address the Supination function unlike any other exercise

2. Reverse Preacher Curl → Maximum engagement of the deeper brachialis (peak) muscle, adding “peak”

3. DB Hammer Curl → Engages the Brachioradialis (forearm) and Brachialis (Peak) muscle, adding arm thickness & grip strength

Common Errors:

- Excessive Swinging
- Partial Reps with less bottom range
- Uncontrolled eccentric (lowering)
- Taking excessively heavy load (choose a load good enough for 10-15 reps)

A common myth exists that “One Multivitamin is enough for all my nutrition needs and if I take that then I don’t need to take anything else”
A multivitamin only provides basic general coverage for survival with trace elements but not optimal for performance needs.
The best strategy is to have one general multivitamin plus separate supplements for nutrients for specific needs

Suggested supplement consumption timelines to optimise nutrient absorption.

Many continue to suffer from nutrient deficiencies & subpar results inspite of taking supplements due to one or more of the following reasons.

1. Consuming too many of them at a time together.
2. Consuming at incorrect timings.
3. Consuming those to be taken on empty stomach with a meal & vice vera.
4. Consuming too high or too low dosages.
5. Choosing a non reputed brand.
6. Choosing a non bioavailable form.

Always take supplements only after consulting a qualified & updated nutritionist to maximize the benefits of them.
